2. How to edit Airtame's overlay
From the Airtame Cloud
Open your airtame.cloud account.
Click "Edit Settings".
Customize the overlay position (Guide, Minimal, Guide left, None), color, and text.
Once you are done editing click on "Apply changes"
From the Airtame App:
Go to the device settings.
In the "Homescreen Overlay" section to customize the overlay position (Guide, Minimal, Guide left, None), color, and text.
Click on "Edit overlay text" to customize the overlay.
Once you are done editing click on "Apply changes".
You can always reset the text to the default information by removing all text and saving settings. The opacity of the background and text color can be adjusted to be transparent by selecting the second bar under the color palette and dragging the toggle to the left.
3. Variables
Some of the information that you will need may vary when you change settings, therefore we have made some variables that you can insert which will replace itself with this changing information. For example the device's name.
Build your onscreen instructions using any of the following variables by copying the two "curly brackets" on each side of the word. i.e {{DEVICE_NAME}}
IP address: {{DEVICE_IP}}
Name of Airtame: {{DEVICE_NAME}}
WiFi name: {{WIFI_NAME}}
WiFi IP address: {{DEVICE_WIFI_IP}}
AP Name (name of the Airtame's own WiFi/AP): {{AP_NAME}}
AP IP address: {{DEVICE_AP_IP}}
AP password: {{AP_PASSWORD}}
USB IP address: {{DEVICE_USB_IP}}
Ethernet IP address: {{DEVICE_ETHERNET_IP}}
Update channel: {{DEVICE_CHANNEL}}
{{DEVICE_IP}} will result in the IP Address of a connection in the following priority order, depending on what connection is available: Ethernet IP > WiFi IP > AP IP > USB IP
4. Text Formatting
The text appearance is controlled using Markdown, a system that will change the look of text when special characters are added on either side of the text you'd like to look different.
Headers: # (H1), ## (H2), ### (H3), #### (H4), ##### (H5), ###### (H6)
Italics: *asterisks* or _underscores_
Bold: **asterisks**
Line-break: [space] [space] [enter]
Line-break + empty line below:
[space] [space] [enter]
[space] [space] [enter]
Line-break + dividing line: ___ (3 underscores)
No Hyperlinks in Overlay text: <pre>[email protected]</pre>
Extra space between letters:
"Hello there!" would result in an extra space between "Hello" and "there"H6 is always grey. It is the same size as H5. So use H6 only with corresponding backgrounds.
Below you can find examples based on how you've set up your Airtame device and how would you like people to connect. You can copy and paste those into your device settings.
